The amazing Hornsea Two project in the UK North Sea is truly a wonder of engineering and creativity. Installing wind towers and turbines in harsh, deep, cold, isolated waters, while collaborating with many different global players, on a scale not seen before, was the task laid out by Denmark’s Ørsted. Quickly approaching final completion, the wind farm is being hailed as one of the greatest modern day human achievements as it begins to ramp up output, eventually providing enough green energy for 2.3 million UK homes (alongside Hornsea One). We talk to Ørsted’s Senior Programme Director for Hornsea Two, Patrick Harnett who gives an insight into challenges, obstacles, hurdles and how the project has pushed and achieved milestones through a very difficult period.
